Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wire-cut electric discharge machine having a function for automatic switching between a fixed temperature control mode and a differential temperature control mode.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of a wire-cut electric discharge machine 30.
  • a predetermined low torque in the instructed direction reverse to the direction in which a wire electrode 20 is drawn out is applied by a torque motor 10 in a feeding section to a wire bobbin 11 having the wire electrode 20 wound therearound. While the wire electrode 20 unreeled from the wire bobbin 11 passes a brake shoe 13, a plurality of guide rollers, and a feed roller 19 driven by a wire electrode feeding motor (not shown), the tension of the wire electrode 20 between the brake shoe 13 and the feed roller 19 is regulated as the brake shoe 13 is driven by a brake motor 12.
  • the wire electrode 20 After passing the brake shoe 13, the wire electrode 20 passes an upper wire guide 14, lower wire guide 15, and lower guide roller 16, then passes between a pinch roller 18 and the feed roller 19, and is collected into a wire electrode collection box 17.
  • the workpiece to be machined (not shown) is disposed in a machining vessel 2.
  • a voltage is applied across a gap between the wire electrode 20 and the workpiece to generate discharges for machining the workpiece.
  • a machining fluid is provided between the wire electrode 20 and the workpiece for the purposes of insulation between the wire electrode 20 and the workpiece, cooling, and the removal of machining chips produced by the discharges.
  • the temperature of the machining fluid is increased as the machining fluid is heated by the discharges between the wire electrode 20 and the workpiece.
  • the temperature of the machining fluid is also increased by the heat loss from a pump supplying the machining fluid to the machining vessel 2 in which the workpiece is placed.
  • the increased temperature of the machining fluid thermally expands and deforms the workpiece and the table on which the workpiece is placed, causing the degradation of machining accuracy and the breakage of the wire electrode 20.
  • the wire electric discharge machine 30 is therefore provided with a cooling device for cooling the machining fluid.
  • the machining fluid in the wire-cut electric discharge machine 30 is cooled by the cooling device in the following two modes:
  • Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-203408 discloses a technique for controlling the temperature of a working fluid treating apparatus depending on the temperature of the machining fluid in the machining vessel in a wire-cut electric discharge machine.
  • Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-319943 discloses a technique for controllably cooling the machining fluid on the basis of the temperature detected by a temperature detecting means that is selected from a plurality of temperature detecting means according to the machining conditions (whether the amount of heat generated by machining is large or small) of the wire-cut electric discharge machine and the target temperature.
  • the technique disclosed by the aforementioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-203408 takes into consideration in controlling the machining fluid temperature in the machining vessel neither the relationship (temperature difference) between the machining fluid temperature and the ambient temperature of the machine (wire electric discharge machine), nor prevention against the dew condensation on the machine in controlling the machining fluid temperature.
  • US 5175408 discloses an electrical discharge machine according to the preamble of claim 1 in which the operating state of a machining fluid cooler can be ascertained and adjusted.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a wire-cut electric discharge machine having a function for automatically switching, depending on the ambient temperature of the wire-cut electric discharge machine and the machining fluid temperature, the controlling means for cooling the machining fluid in order to prevent dew condensation from being formed on the wire-cut electric discharge machine when the machining fluid is cooled by a cooling device.
  • the wire-cut electric discharge machine includes a machining vessel housing therein a discharge machining section for machining a workpiece by electric-discharges by use of a wire electrode, a waste water vessel for collecting and storing the machining fluid from the machining vessel, a freshwater vessel for storing the machining fluid from the waste water vessel after the machining fluid is filtered by a filter, a supply line for supplying the machining fluid from the freshwater vessel to upper and lower wire guides, an ambient temperature measuring means for measuring the ambient temperature of the wire-cut electric discharge machine, a machining fluid temperature measuring means for measuring the machining fluid temperature, a cooling device for controlling the temperature of the machining fluid by cooling the machining fluid in the freshwater vessel and supplying the cooled machining fluid to at least one of the machining vessel, waste water vessel, freshwater vessel, and supply line, and a controller for controlling the cooling operation of the cooling device.
  • the controller automatically switches, depending on the relationship between the ambient temperature measured by the ambient temperature measuring means and the machining fluid temperature measured by the machining fluid temperature measuring means, and depending on a relationship between the ambient temperature measured by the ambient temperature measuring means and lowest and highest temperatures in a preset machine ambient temperature range, between a fixed temperature control mode, in which the machining fluid temperature is maintained at a preset temperature, and a differential temperature control mode, in which the machining fluid temperature follows the ambient temperature to limit the difference between the machining fluid temperature and the ambient temperature stays to a preset range.
  • the controller can control the machining fluid temperature in the following four ways:
  • the present invention can provide a wire-cut electric discharge machine including a machining fluid cooling device and having a function for automatically switching the controlling means for cooling the machining fluid depending on the ambient temperature of the wire-cut electric discharge machine and the machining fluid temperature to prevent dew condensation on the wire-cut electric discharge machine.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing main sections of a wire-cut electric discharge machine having a temperature control function according to the present invention.
  • a machining vessel 2 is provided on a mechanism section 1 of a wire-cut electric discharge machine 30.
  • the machining vessel 2 houses therein a discharge machining section (not shown).
  • a table (not shown) on which the workpiece to be machined is placed is provided in the machining vessel 2. While the workpiece is being moved with respect to a wire electrode 20 (not shown in FIG. 1 ) by the table driven by a feeding servo motor (not shown) provided in the mechanism section 1, the workpiece is machined by discharges generated by a voltage applied between the workpiece and the wire electrode 20.
  • a machining fluid is supplied and stored in the machining vessel 2. Because the machining fluid in the machining vessel 2 contains machining chips or the like resulting from the discharges, the machining fluid is caused to flow into a waste water vessel 4 as indicated by arrow 8. The machining fluid collected and stored in the waste water vessel 4 is pumped out by a pump P1 for filtration to remove the machining chips through a filter F, and supplied to a freshwater vessel 5 for storage.
  • a temperature sensor (machining fluid temperature sensor) S2 in FIG. 1 is provided in the machining vessel 2 to detect the temperature of the machining fluid.
  • the location of the machining fluid temperature sensor S2 is not limited within the machining vessel 2 but may be disposed at any other location at which the machining fluid temperature can be measured, such as a location at which the machining fluid temperature in the freshwater vessel 5 or the temperature of the freshwater vessel 5 itself can be measured, for example, or may be disposed in a machining fluid cooling device 6 to measure the temperature of the machining fluid coming from the freshwater vessel 5.
  • a temperature sensor (ambient temperature sensor) S1 in FIG. 1 detects the ambient temperature of the machine, i.e., the wire-cut electric discharge machine 30.
  • the ambient temperature sensor S1 is preferably disposed at a location at which the ambient temperature of the wire-cut electric discharge machine 30 can be measured, such as in the vicinity of the machining vessel 2 or at any other site where dew condensation may readily occur in the wire-cut electric discharge machine 30.
  • the ambient temperature of the wire-cut electric discharge machine 30 detected by the ambient temperature sensor S1 is referred to hereinafter as "machine's ambient temperature TR.”
  • the machining fluid in the freshwater vessel 5 is pumped out by a pump P3 for circulation and supplied through a machining fluid supply line L1a to the machining fluid cooling device 6.
  • the machining fluid cooling device 6 receives a command signal from a controller 7 in the wire-cut electric discharge machine 30, the machining fluid cooling device 6 cools the supplied machining fluid and sends the cooled machining fluid through a machining fluid return line L1c back to the freshwater vessel 5.
  • the controller 7 controls the cooling operation of the machining fluid cooling device 6 by automatically switching, depending on the machine's ambient temperature TR, between a differential temperature control mode, in which the machining fluid temperature TL follows the machine's ambient temperature TR, and a fixed temperature control mode, in which the machining fluid temperature TL is fixedly maintained at a preset temperature (this preset temperature will be referred to hereinafter as Tset), as described below.
